This project implements an OJS plugin for producing NLM standard article XML, as well as pdf and HTML document versions for any article uploaded to an OJS journal.

This plugin will have an enabled/disabled state, and will have a few settings fields. One field will enable selecting a CSL style (that pertains to the OJS journal) from a dynamic list. This controls the format of citations and bibliography entries. Another setting will control whether a pdf version of the article intended only for reviewers is produced.

PKP is developing a standalone service for converting unstructured documents in a Microsoft Word or LibreOffice compatible format to structured NLM JATS XML, and from there, creating attractive, usable HTML and PDF article views from the XML. This is intended to decrease the labour involved in the layout stage, and facilitate the creation of archive-friendly and web-native article formats (as well as facilitating indexing in PubMed Central). This work has been funded by Stanford University's MediaX incubator under the direction of John Willinsky since 2012.

When an author, copyeditor or editor uploads a new version (odt, docx, doc, or pdf format) of an article, this module (using a separate thread) submits it to the pdfx server specified in the configuration file. The following files are returned in a gzip'ed archive file (X-Y-Z-AG.tar.gz) which is added (or replaces a pre-existing version in) the Supplementary files section.

We are also providing an OJS plugin which integrates into the OJS workflow and treats this parsing service as an API, which will be released concurrently with the webservice. In 2013, we released an early proof of concept of this functionality, which we are now redeveloping in combination with the Open Library of the Humanities. All code relating to this project will be released under the GPL; we expect to have a new version released in early 2014.

Revision as of 10:46, 4 December 2013

PKP is currently working on an XML publishing workflow whereby article components (submission documents, citation lists, article metadata) are transformed into NLM XML for subsequent use in the publishing process. This meta-project consists of numerous sub-projects, and is itself directly inspired by PKP's Lemon8 project.

Previous iterations of this project include the OJS XML Galley Plugin (a standard component of OJS), the Citation Markup Assistant (also a standard component of OJS), and Lemon8 (an external application, since retired). The current focus of the project is on converting OJS submission drafts into NLM XML, which can in turn be converted to HTML and PDF galleys.

PKP XML Conversion Service

PKP is developing a standalone service for converting unstructured documents in a Microsoft Word or LibreOffice compatible format to structured NLM JATS XML, and from there, creating attractive, usable HTML and PDF article views from the XML. This is intended to decrease the labour involved in the layout stage, and facilitate the creation of archive-friendly and web-native article formats (as well as facilitating indexing in PubMed Central). This work has been funded by Stanford University's MediaX incubator under the direction of John Willinsky since 2012.

We are also providing an OJS plugin which integrates into the OJS workflow and treats this parsing service as an API, which will be released concurrently with the webservice. In 2013, we released an early proof of concept of this functionality, which we are now redeveloping in combination with the Open Library of the Humanities. All code relating to this project will be released under the GPL; we expect to have a new version released in early 2014.
